Absolutely surreal to have lived through the Napster days and watched as the titans of industry moved hell and high water to lock down any possible chance that someone's song might get swapped online without giving the studios a cut and now those same people are just like "well we gotta steal music"

Quick what's it called when almost every single trans femme and trans woman you know cannot find a job?

I'm sure it's not a cultural shift that's occurring and were all just hysterical.

If it's an 'authoritarian drive' in China to remove trans people from public view, what's it called in the UK and US?

A bit later then I normally do it but it's that time of year again for the Yearly Art Summary!

I had a pretty good year art-wise until about August when the stressors of life and work got to me so bad that I struggled to put anything out for the rest of the year

The truth is, they think they want to be free, but often, the dizzying heights of freedom will overwhelm your twink. Leave them in a well padded cage equipped with food and water with Neon Genesis playing on a nearby screen.

🚨📚 Today is release day for my new book Gender/Fucking: The Pleasures and Politics of Living in a Gendered Body!
 
Asking what we can learn from sexual arousal, the book takes an incredibly raw and thought-provoking look at community, queerness, fetishization, trauma, and hope.

From the beginning the #disability community told you this was by design. They wanted to get rid of us, we were a burden on services and ableds were fine with that.

Admit it, you were.

Maybe now you have LC and have had an epiphany. Too late.
The #AAPD (American Association of People w/Disabilities) released a statement about the #CDC #COVID guidelines:

"...The new guidance continues the disturbing trend we have continually witnessed in response to #COVID19, of enacting policies that leave disabled people behind & isolate them further."
